with Captain Preston of the Rock Island
engineer corps and the directors OF the
Wichita and Winfield Railroad. Speeches
we're made by Colonel Lawrence of the
Fort Worth Western, M. A Spoonts of
Abilene, A. A. Clarke OF Al
o.ny, T. F. West of Jacksboro,
Judge Plemons of Potter county and
Messrs. Foreman, James Howard and
others Of this city. Colonel Lawrence's
remarks were addressed to the purpose
inducing Wichita Falls to cooperate
with JacEshoro in having line
IT the Rock Island extended
from WIGHT. Falls to Jacksooro after
thai road sh.ll have reached this city.
He spoke in the highest terms of the
route of the Fort Worth West m from
Fort Worth to Jscksboro, and cited
the fact that the Rock Island
would get into Fort Worth via
Jacksboro by eight miles shorter
route than it could by going any where
else. Major Foreman stated Inc Rock
Island could save fully 200 feet Of haul
oV entering Fort Worth by way OF Jacks
boro, and that this meant q
great deal to railroads in the
construction Of their lines. West of
Jacksboro paid glowing tribute to the
county of Jsck and spoke highly Of the
excellent quality Of coal the counties of
Jack ard Young contained and the ebund-
apce of it. BE also referred to the excel
iencY of the route between Wichita

duty of the people of this city to not only
show the Rock Island people good route
into this CITY, but good route cut of il
as well. Spoonts and Clarke submitted
fne reports of Abilene, San Angelo and
Albsny. The latter submitted to
Captain Preston 8 set of statistics
that reflected most creditsbly upon Albany

3sted.
The meeting resulted in the appoint
ment OF two committees to run as many

FOR HEAT AND LIGHT.

A ROCHESTERIAN INvENTS CONTINUANCE
FOR USE ON RAILROAD TRAINS.
George Smith of this city has invented
compressed air pump which, when at
tsched to baggage Car, is operated by
the revolution Of the Car wheels them
selves. This contrivance is designed to
lighF and heat the train. Compressed air
containing naphtha or petroleum is passed
through q tank which is also attached
to the baggage car. The naphtha is
forced by the sir through pipes into all
the cars, which are connected by q rubber
hose. The Daphths on entering each car
passes through heavy g ass tube before
it is distributed to the registers and lamp.
The registers are situated one at each
end OF the car, and heat is obtained BY ig-
hitting with g match the naphtha as 1t is
forced through the pipes. The amount of
heat is regulated by stop cocks, as on O
gas it. Light is obtstned as In the case
Of gas, naphtha OF course being TIE ma
'erIal consumed. The safety arrange
ment is On the glass tube through which
toe naphtha and air psss on entering each
car. Around each glass tube is spiral
spring, connected with rope which runs
from the engine through the train. This
g. ring holds In place an upright lever,
which, when made to assume horizontal
position, shuts off the supply of COM
bustiole material and causes the instant
extinguishment Of all lights in the light
ing CT heating part of the apparatus.
When the engineer sees danger ahead he
pulls the rope, which resembles bell
rope, except that it runs along the side of
the cars. On pulling the rope the spiral
spring is raised and the lever
falls, every light going out i'm
mediately. To provide for emergen-
cies in which the engineer cannot
see the danger, such as Car jumping the |
track or collision from the rear, there
are two heavy balls, connected with the |
glass tube and supported by springs
which, on violent shocks or severe mo-
ton, dash against the glass, breaking it,
and thus loosening the spiral spring,
which in turn allows the lever to fall,
bringing about the same result.
More heat than can possibly be
used may be generated by means
Of this appliance, and as for
lights as many can be used as desired.
A ktrain of six cars can be run from
New York to Buffalo, heated and lighted,
or trifle. The invention has been
practically tested on en- elegant model,
which is nowbeing exhibited to prominent
abroad men in New York city. Several
ocsl capitalists have taken hold of the
INVENTION, and will push lis sale
